Operator touch panels

American Industrial Systems offers 10.4, 15, or 17 inch industrial panel PCs combined with innovative HMI technology and IP66 NEMA 4X stainless steel front bezel solutions suited for Brewery operations. The operator touch panel computer provides visualization, process control, overall equipment effectiveness, and clean-in-place (CIP) solutions that reduce costs through improved equipment performance, increased production efficiency and quality across your operations.

AIS touch panel computers are industrial monitors with an integrated industrial-grade PC. The panel computers can operate as stand-alone and/or network solutions for combined plant control and visualization through standard interfaces including Ethernet network, USB and serial connection. The pre-installed Windows operating system allows the user to install 3rd party software packages for plant control, visualization and production. The system operates independently without external processing power and can, via serial interface, communicate directly to PLC systems. These systems are pre-tested and qualified to run Wonderware ArchestrA System Platform that provides a single, scalable software platform for integrating existing SCADA, Supervisory HMI, MES and EMI systems into a unified operations management solution. AIS visualization panel computers with IP66 stainless steel front bezel provide Windows into critical production, process information and enterprise data. Across the Brewery industry, applications and manufacturing environment, these products accelerate development and enhance operations.

The Brewery industry is constantly evolving, and industrial computing has become the backbone of everyday life in the workplace. Industrial panel PCs are required, whether the application is for a control room, machine automation, assembly line monitoring, user terminals, or inside heavy machinery. Increased demands in processing power, mechanical designs, environmental performance, ruggedness, and high reliability are key concerns in the industry. AIS understands that identifying industrial computer and the right operator interface is essential for solving industrial computing challenges. AIS industrial IP66 stainless steel front panel PCs provide the best-fitting product for overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) solutions. AIS combined the best of the embedded computing and controls knowledge in delivering innovative CPUs, linked to the leading open industrial network, and connected to a full lineup of I/O options in delivering best-in-class availability, performance and quality.

AIS stainless steel operator control panels and panel PC are highly functional control and display units in 10.4, 15, or 17 inch touch panels that are integrated with Intel Atom processing technology. These systems meet the strict hygiene regulations for the Brewery industry, clean rooms, and feature stainless steel panels with IP 66 protection, virtually gap-less housing design with flush-mounted touch screens, a housing geometry and optimized frame profile that allows liquids to run off, and prevent accumulation and contamination. Other features are: resistance of the stainless steel surfaces and touch screens to cleaning agents and disinfectants, and equipping the display with a splinter guard, which all cover the requirements for cleanroom applications.
